A great hotel
I stayed in 3 different hotels during this stay, and AX the Palace is by far the best. It has actual parking, a very good spa, and it's located right within walking distance of the waterfront and the multitude of stores and restaurants. The room was VERY comfortable, including the temperature and it wasn't humid, despite it being very humid outside. This isn't the case in every hotel, let me tell you. Just be aware the Afternoon Tea option is not for inside your room, it's inside the Tabloid restaurant. This wasn't clear based on their email.

Perfect Stay !
10/10 Very nice 5 star hotel. Everything what you expected or even more. Nice, modern and clean room, very nice pool at the TOP, good food and extremely kind people, especially on the reception. You feel like you are welcomed in the hotel. I travel a lot and this kind of kindness is not very common any more. Definitely would visit again.

Staff were extremely friendly, especially Islam. We loved our experience at AX Palace. The rooftop pool was lovely and clean, and never overcrowded. Spa was amazing! And the indoor pool was peaceful. Parking facility was extremely convenient too.
